"You’re supported. You already have what you need in you."
What do you do when life strips away what you thought defined you? For Laura Dungan, losing her hearing as a lifelong musician forced her into a different kind of listening — one that opened doors to guidance, resilience, and a new way of holding power.
Laura is a community organizer and author whose work bridges ancient wisdom with grassroots change, planting seeds for humanity’s next chapter. Her debut novel, The Archer, and her forthcoming book, The Seed, weave personal transformation with collective liberation.
In this conversation, Laura shares her journey from community organizing in Wichita to discovering the helpers, practices, and spiritual insights that shaped her path. We explore how loss can become transformation, and what it means to keep showing up with courage when the old ways stop working.
We explore:
→ How anger fueled her early activism — and why she had to shift to guidance
→ What hearing loss taught her about inner listening and resilience
→ Simple practices to stoke your inner fire and trust your compass
